What is a Music Management Contract?
A music management contract is a legal agreement between a music artist and a management company that outlines the terms for handling business affairs on behalf of the artist. The agreement will typically outline compensation terms, responsibilities, decision making powers, and more.
A well structured management contract should incentivize the management company to grow the music artist's career by finding new commercial opportunities (i.e., concert performances, endorsement deals, etc.) so the artist can focus on creating and performing their music.
Some terms that may be specific to music management contracts are:
- Decision Making Authority
- Exclusivity
- Post-Contract Obligations (Sunset Clauses)
- Expenses
- Compensation

Memoir review
"Sara did a lot of work on my project. Sara was always responded quickly, spend a lot of time on my project, and gave extensive written feedback. I would have liked to have had a bid that included a follow up call to discuss her feedback. I would recommend including an initial call and a follow up call to clarify needs and to process and get explanations to the feedback. I feel a lot is lost in texts and email and a phone or zoom call really could have cleared up some things. Thank you!"
